5 stars

A great way to learn self-defense with an emphasis on ending confrontation somewhat peaceful but immediately.  Great fun and very informative.  The dojo is clean; the lessons are demonstrative and clear.

I took an introductory course at Paradise Valley Aikido and really enjoyed it.  Tony is a masterful teacher.  He is very clear in his instruction (and patient with us).  We had a lot of fun and learned some great moves!
